Abstract

The variations of the phase and amplitude of klystron output due tothe change in klystron cathode voltage is investigated in this note. Themechanism and the e↵ectiveness of the feedback control to suppress thevariations are given. To understand the limitation of the feedback, bothproportional controller and proportional-integral controller used in feed-back loop are simulated and analyzed respectively for superconductingcavity and normal conducting cavity. The tolerances of the droop andripple in cathode voltage are shown according to the data and resultsobtained. All the simulations and calculations are performed with MAT-LAB. The data and results are listed in detail so as to enable comparisonwith further studies and measurements at ESS.

1 Introduction

In accelerator, the klystron su↵ers the droop and ripple e↵ect resultingfrom the modulator (klystron cathode voltage supplier), while the droopand ripple in klystron cathode voltage leads to a phase and amplitudemodulation on klystron output. At ESS, there might be potentially seriousdroop and ripple because of long pulse up to 3 ms. It is important for usto know to what extent the droop and ripple a↵ects the klystron output,and how much we can tolerate.

2 Phase and Amplitude Variations

To find how the klystron output is a↵ected, consider a simplified two-cavity klystron as shown in Figure 1.

Electron beams generated out from Electron gun are firstly acceler-ated by the cathode voltage V and then modulated by the RF signal atinput cavity. After passing through the drift space of the length L, thebeams finally induce the required RF signal at output cavity. The RFoutput phase varies if there is any change in the time to travel throughthe drift space, which is highly a↵ected by the change in cathode voltage.The phase variation due to the voltage change can be calculated by thefollowing equations:

Moreaccurate result can be calculated by the relations given in Appendix A [2]in consideration of relativistic e↵ects.

There is also variation in amplitude as a result of the change in klystroncathode voltage. The calculation of the amplitude variation [3] is basedon the following relations:

Assuming that the RF input is cos(!t) and there is error �V in cath-ode voltage, the RF output signal is therefore modulated by �✓ in phaseand �A in amplitude, which can be written as:

Vout

= (A +�A)cos(!t +�✓), (8)

where A is the klystron gain. For example, considering a klystron withL = 2.5m,f = 508MHz, and the cathode voltage = 80kV , a cathode volt-age change �V �V = 1% results in a phase variation �✓ of 13° (12° for

relativistic case), and amplitude variation �A�A of 1.25%. Some mea-surements for the phase and amplitude variations in other labs are listedin Table 1. They are in agreement with the ones calculated above.

It appears that the phase is much more influenced by the ripple thanthe amplitude. Therefore, we will mainly discuss the phase variations inlater sections. If there is ripple component �V sin(!t) mixed in cathodevoltage, the RF output signal correspondingly become:

Acos(!t + k�V sin(!t)). (9)

It is the common expression of the frequency modulated signal, whichhas been well studied in radio communication. Because the droop canbe also viewed as the ripple with DC component or very low frequencycomponent, we will therefore discuss just the case of the ripple componentswith various frequencies in the following sections.

3 Suppression of variations

The amplitude and phase variations of klystron output resulted from mod-ulator droop and ripple can be suppressed in feedback loop by a factorof G+1, where G is the loop gain. However, the feedback gain G cannotbe unlimitedly increased due to the loop delay. The low gain limits thefeedback performance and leaves steady errors. The integral gain is thenintroduced to eliminate the steady error and also the low frequency noises,but have a poor performance at high frequency. More details will be givenin following sections.

3.1 Loop delay and loop gain

The block diagram of a simplified feedback loop for cavity phase andamplitude (or I & Q) control is given in Figure 2, where the klystron,cavity and detector are all simulated as the one-order low pass filters[9, 10], and only proportional controller is considered. The loop delayis generally of the order of µs in LLRF system, which is the key factorcausing loop instability and limiting loop performance. If we note thatthe 3-dB cut-o↵ frequencies of the klystron and the detector are usuallymuch higher than the Cavity, the block diagram can be further simplifiedinto Figure 3.

The cavity behaviours like a low pass filter to phase and amplitudein the simplified control loop without considering Lorentz detuning andsynchronous phase operation. Its transfer function can be written as [9]:

Hcav

(f) = fhbw

jf + fhbw

, (10)

where f is the frequency variable, and fhbw

is the cavity half bandwidth .The open loop transfer function H

o

(f) of the control loop in Figure 3has the expressions as shown in Equations 11, 12, and 13, assuming thatthe bandwidths of the klystron and LLRF detector are both larger enoughthan the cavity bandwidth.

Instability of the closed loop can be concluded from the characteristicsof open loop transfer function, which occurs when the magnitude and thephase angle of the open loop transfer function are under special conditionsas follows: �H

(f)� ≥ 1, (16)

' = −⇡ + n ⋅ 2⇡, n = 0,±1,±2, ... (17)

Combining the Equation 14, 15, 16 and 17, we can calculate the criticalfrequency where the phase equals −180°(−⇡) and the critical loop gainwhere the magnitude equals 0 dB. The lower the delay is, the higher thecritical loop gain will be. Consequently the better feedback performancecould be achieved. The critical loop gains obtained under di↵erent loopdelays are listed in Table 2 both for superconducting cavity (with halfbandwidth of 518 Hz, the current design value for ESS high beta cavity)and normal conducting cavity (assuming half bandwidth of 10 kHz).

The loop delay ⌧ is set to 2µs in the following sections, which is thereasonable value considering the complicated perturbation factors (ripple,Lorentz detuning, passband modes, etc.), even though 1µs loop delay isachieved in some cavities at SNS (but some cavities are still larger than1µs, even up to 1.5µs). At 2 µs loop delay, the critical gains are 241 and12 for superconducting cavity and normal conducting cavity respectively,and the critical frequency is 125kHz for both.

It is at risk to have loop gain below but close to the critical gain,which causes overshoot as shown in Figures 4 and 5. We can see clearlyfrom the figures that the loop gain around 0.3G (G is the critical gain)

is smooth enough without overshoot, which means the loop gain of 72 forsuperconducting cavity and 4 for normal conducting cavity. In practice,at SNS the average loop gain is about 50 for superconducting cavity and6 for normal conducting cavity [6, 11]. In JPRAC where only the normalconducting cavities are used the average loop gain is about 5 [12]. InFLASH, the loop gain is about 70 ∼ 100 [9, 13].

3.2 Suppression of the klystron output variation

by proportional gain

The influence of the ripple and droop of the modulator on klystron isequivalent to adding a noise to the klystron output. The block diagramof the feedback loop with noise is given in Figure 6, which is applicablefor both phase and amplitude loops (or I &Q loops). The noise inside thecavity bandwidth is fully passed to the cavity in open loop via the pathfrom r to y, while suppressed by a factor of G+1 (G is the loop gain) inclosed loop, as shown in Figure 7.

The larger the loop gain, the better the loop performance against noise.The characteristics are shown obviously in Figures 8 and 9. However, it isalso found that larger gain induces bigger overshoot and longer oscillation.

With only the proportional controller, it is hard for the normal con-ducting cavity to deal with large perturbation (with a loop gain of 6, forexample, a perturbation of 15° phase variation can be only suppressedto 2.5°). What’s worse, it leaves big steady error as seen from Figure 4.These are the reasons why the integral controller needs to be introducedas well in the feedback control.

3.3 Suppression of the klystron output noise by

proportional-integral controller

As mentioned above, to eliminate the steady error and better suppressthe noise, apart from the proportional controller we also have to employthe integral controller. The larger the integral gain is, the better thenoise suppression performance of the integral controller will be at lowfrequency. However, larger integral gain consumes more phase margin,thereby increasing the risk of raising the instability.

Figure 9: Closed loop noise suppression for normal conducting cavity(G=12)

The block diagram of the feedback loop with PI (proportional-integral)controller [14] is given in Figure 10, where Kp is the proportional gain andKi is the integral gain. In the feedback loop with PI controller, the openloop transfer function can be written as:

enough phase margin away from instability point (−180°). On the otherhand, the phase margin will be less and less if integral gain continuesincreasing above 2⇡f

hbw

. It can be seen clearly in the bode diagram ofopen loop as shown in Figure 11. What’s worse is that there exists delayin the loop, which makes the feedback control with large integral gainvulnerable to causing instability. Figure 12 shows the case with 2µs delay,in which the instability arises inevitably as the integral gain becomeslarger and larger. In practice, the integral gain is set to 2⇡f

hbw

so as tokeep a constant loop phase and larger phase margin at all frequencies.

Having set the proper proportional and integral gains, it is able tolook into the closed loop performance against the noise. The proportionalgains of Kp=6 for normal conducting cavity and 50 for superconductingcavity, and the integral gain of K

i

= 2⇡fhbw

are firstly taken as analyzedabove. The noise suppressions in closed loops as a function of frequencyare given in Figures 13 and 14 for superconducting cavity and normalconducting cavity separately.

It is found from Figures 13 and 14 that with integral controller thefeedback loop can suppress e↵ectively the low frequency noise but the per-formance degrades as frequency increases, while the far higher frequencynoise is filtered by cavity itself. Assuming that 15° phase variation is in-duced by per 1% change of the cathode voltage, and 0.5° phase variationis to be achieved under feedback control, we can obtain the noise toler-ance as listed in Tables 3 and 4. For the modulator ripple, the troublefrequencies are usually less than hundred kHz. It is therefore valuablefor us to focus on the rising part of the curves in figures above and thecorresponding results in tables.

Tables 3 and 4 indicate that for a ripple of 3% in cathode voltage, theripple frequency must be limited to less than several hundred Hz in orderto achieve the required phase variation for superconducting and normalconducting cavities, and for a 1% ripple, the frequency has to be less thana couple of kHz for normal conducting cavity. Superconducting cavityfeedback loop has much better performance against noise at higher fre-quency due to its intrinsic ability to achieve higher proportional gain.As there exists other factors a↵ecting the feedback performance such as

A much worse case of propor-tional gain of 20 for superconducting cavity and 1 for normal conductingcavity is shown in Figures 15, 16 and Tables 5, 6. In both superconduct-ing and normal conducting cavities, the frequency is limited to less than100 Hz for 3% ripple, while less than several hundred Hz is needed for 1%ripple. Normal conducting cavity feedback loop has a poorer performancefor the frequencies of higher than 1 kHz, at which the ripple should belimited to the order of 0.1%.

In considering both cases above, to control the phase variation within0.5°, it therefore seems better to keep the modulator ripple <1% at lowfrequency (<1 kHz), while<0.1% for normal conducting cavity and<0.5%for superconducting cavity at higher frequency (>1 kHz). For the ripplewith frequency below 100 Hz, it is able to leave the ripple at around 3%or even higher for much lower frequencies.

The modulator droop can be seen as very low frequency ripple oreven DC component noise in feedback loop, and therefore theoreticallythe droop could be larger than 3% in cathode voltage. However, largerdroop or ripple will consume more power and reduce phase adjustmentrange of the feedback loop. For example, around 8% more power and45 ° in phase (assuming 15° is induced by per 1% variation in cathodevoltage) are needed to compensate 3% droop in feedback loop, while 13%more power and 75° in phase are needed for 5% droop. For the purposeof power e�ciency and achievement of good feedback performance, it isnecessary to reduce the droop and ripple as much as possible.

4 Conclusion

The modulator droop and ripple of per 1% induces more than 10° inklystron output phase and 1.25% in amplitude (2.5% in power). The PIfeedback loop has trouble to deal with the noises with high amplitude andhigh frequency due to loop delay and the necessity to keep proper phasemargin. It would be better to keep the modulator droop and ripple <1%in low frequency range (<1 kHz), while <0.1% for normal conductingcavity and <0.5% for superconducting cavity in higher frequency range(>1 kHz). For the modulator droop and very low frequency ripple below100 Hz, the tolerance for the ripple could be up to 3% or even higher, butit consumes more power and more phase dynamic range. It is essential toreduce the droop and ripple as much as possible.
